EyeSeeMe African American Children's Bookstore

I heard about this store online last summer, and ordered some books for my preschool classroom and well as for myself and my son. The books were great. We decided to check the store out in person so my son could look for the next book in the series we had already purchased. I wanted to continue to support a small black owned business instead of just going to Amazon. While the store itself isn't very large, they have a huge selection ranging from board books, picture books, beginning readers, graphic novels, chapter books, and novels. From both a parent perspective and a teacher perspective, I was very impressed with what was in stock. The young man working was very friendly and helpful. He recommended another series of books for my son to check out in addition to the one we were looking for. There is also a small side room that has some adult offerings so I was able to purchase something for myself as well. This store is a gem. Especially in today's current divided climate having access to diverse books is critical. I would absolutely recommend EyeSeeMe.

I have bought several books from here. The staff are so sweet and helpful. They helped me to acquire what I came for and suggested so many new titles that were related. I always have a great experience when I shop here. They're always going to be my first choice, even with audible titles.

Pleasant service and stocked with everything a child needs to be well equipped with fun educational tools. Books, puzzles, calendars, you name it. EyeSeeMe is a wonderful place to take your children for a day of exploration and learning.

St. Louis is so lucky to have EyeSeeMe in the community! First off, their mission to promote inclusive children's books is amazing, and their selection in store is super wide. I also am just really impressed by the effort they put in to provide St. Louisans with social-justice oriented books during the pandemic. Doesn't hurt that the staff is super friendly as well! Cannot recommend enough!

Wonderful selection for all kids with differing reading levels. My kids are extremely excited to go and find books they love. Also the staff is so kind I can't remember her name but she was so sweet to my boy that has SPD find a great book in the store. We bought the series ud83dude0a
